    The clause that the user signs upon registering to Disney+ is a binding arbitration clause.

    Disney is taking it waaaay further than anyone else by saying a free trial to D+ means any legal interaction with Disney goes to arbitration, not just for D+.

    Arbitration clauses in EULAs are bullshit anyway, but if this isn’t thrown out of court in a way that kills the concept of being able to sue for damages when every business adds this clause.

      If this holds up in court and becomes precedent it will create a lot of people with nothing left to lose with a lot of grudges against these companies. I can’t say I would have any sympathy if executives became targets for heinous acts of violence stemming from such an injustice.

        This. With digital feudalism now crossing into the physical realm this way, it’d be nice to see people finally sharpening their guillotines.
